Buttler's explosive unbeaten 51 off just 20 ***** not only powered Manchester Super Giants to a comfortable chase of 156 with 31 ***** to spare but also took him past Pollard's long-standing tally to the top of the all-time T20 run charts.
The landmark moment came in spectacular fashion. Facing Marco Jansen, ***** ler launched the South African pacer for three successive sixes, with the first of those maximums taking him beyond Pollard's record.

The England wicketkeeper-batter now has 14,833 runs in 522 T20 matches, along with nine centuries and 105 fifties, overtaking Pollard's 14,803 runs in 746 matches.
